Re: tpi ? (Fevre)

I'm not sure when G.M. dropped the engines from all of the various divisions to pretty much standardise on the Chevy v8, but all 3rd gen v8 f-bodies came with Chevy engines. So the 88 Firebird tpi is a Chevy 305 or 350. If it is a 305, the tpi will still fit your 350, but you will need to go with a 350 knock sensor and 22# injectors, 305 had 19#.

Do a search under recent and archived articles (elswhere in this forum). I posted a similar question and received many good replies.

Thanks for the replies, was pretty sure it would work but wanted to make sure, Looking at a firebird with a 350 and 700r4, only wish it had a 5 speed.
